Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! The sun is shining, temps are mild, just a lovely fall day. I think the forecast might be for cloudy and showers later on ... but that will be ok too since we need rain.
Yesterday was very busy. I got laundry and some "routine" stuff done. My niece and I picked up a friend, and we went shopping. It's a good thing we had a lot of fun ... 'cause we sure didn't have any money to spend! LOL!! We went to a really neat huge indoor flea market. It's always fun to browse; plus, there are at least 3 dogs and countless cats who live there. They are all very friendly (well of course, they'd have to be, wouldn't they!) and love to be petted. When we got home we were tired, so watched "The Secret Life of Bees" on TV. Then, we cleaned the rest of the porch; and my niece and my friend made more cookie dough while I cleaned the den. It was a very long day, but a lot of fun as well as being productive.
Today has gotten off to a great start ... I had a "conversation" with a soldier I've adopted. What fun that is! :) In a few minutes I will go finish the dusting and vacuuming left from yesterday, and then go get my friend. We're hoping for an afternoon of making things for the outdoor decorating, coming up very soon now! (No, it is not at all too soon! LOL!).
For those who want to know ... it's only 96 days until Christmas!!!
Today is "Women's Friendship Dayd" ... "Anniversary - Rock of Chickamauga".
Quotes of the Day:
"My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition."
-- Indira Gandhi
"No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets."
